INTRODUCTION <br />4�1 <br />While the City's canopy cover is <br />doing well, the recent inventory <br />assessed most of the public trees as <br />being in "fair" condition, meaning <br />there are still areas for improvement <br />in how the City is managing the <br />urban forest. Analyzing the current <br />urban forestry program identifies <br />operational challenges and <br />provides guidance to enhance <br />operational efficiency which will <br />help the City to better manage <br />and care for its trees. While the <br />City works on improving their <br />urban forest program and the <br />management of public trees <br />throughout Pleasanton, it is <br />important to note that private trees <br />(discussed more in Key Finding 2) <br />and the residents and businesses <br />that care for them, play an even <br />more important role in contributing <br />to the City's overall canopy. One of <br />the most prominent ways the City <br />has protected private trees is through <br />the Tree Preservation Ordinance. <br />CITY OF PLEASANTON URBAN FOREST MASTER PLAN <br />•/�- .:y _kms _ <br />
